Customer Reviews

The Boyfriend Clinic

I loved this book. When I had a boy problem I looked in the book and it helped me. I am so happy I bought it years ago.

Interesting

Yes, it does answer many questions about guys and how to get them to notice you, and how to flirt and everything. But...I feel like this book is missing something. It doesn't tell you enough about being yourself, and getting the guy to like you for you.I recommend this book to anyone who is just looking for a quick, fun read. But if you're looking for a serious book about guys and dating try "The Girls' Guide To Guys" by Julie Brown. It can answer all of your dating questions, and then some.

The Boyfriend Clinic

You know all those questions, insecurities, and nagging doubts you've had about guys and dating that you thought you were silly for even thinking about? Reading this book makes you realize that everyone else in the world has them too--including the guys! Even better, the author spells out all the answers in thorough (and much-needed!) detail. The practical advice is the best part--like the chart with suggestions about what to get him for every gift-giving occasion according to the degree of seriousness of your relationship. And a step-by-step guide to get you out of dead-air crises on the phone with him. All those little things that trip you up about dating, from flirting to breaking up, are covered in the book. I laughed out loud about every other page because the anecdotes are so right on--and a lot easier to laugh about knowing you're not the only one that's been in a similarly sticky situation.
